Donald Trump Orders Immediate Impeachment and Arrest of Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Frey for Inciting Insurrection in Minnesota after attack allege Attack on Federal agents and ICE officers

Trump vs. Walz: Federal Pressure Rises Amid Minnesota Unrest — But No Impeachment Order

In January 2026, tensions between the federal government and Minnesota state leaders — especially Governor Tim Walz — escalated sharply amid a controversial federal immigration enforcement operation and widespread protests. However, claims that former President Donald Trump has ordered Walz’s immediate impeachment for “inciting insurrection” are not supported by credible news reporting.

Background: Unrest in Minnesota

The political crisis traces back to a surge in federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis and other parts of Minnesota. The deployment of thousands of federal agents — including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers — to carry out enforcement actions has sparked protests and anger from local officials and community members. 

The situation became especially volatile after the fatal shooting of a civilian by an ICE agent, which triggered large demonstrations and legal challenges over how federal law enforcement is operating in the state. 

Trump’s Threats to Use the Insurrection Act

President Trump has publicly suggested that he might invoke the Insurrection Act, a rarely-used federal law that allows the deployment of active-duty troops for domestic enforcement, if state leaders do not control protests that he says have targeted federal personnel. 

These comments have inflamed political debate:

GOP lawmakers have urged the president to take even stronger action against Walz, including calls to arrest the governor under the Insurrection Act for allegedly obstructing federal enforcement.  Trump criticized Minnesota officials for what he called a failure to control unrest and attacks on federal agents.  Vice President J.D. Vance later said that using the Insurrection Act “isn’t needed right now,” even as tensions persist. 

Federal Legal Action, Subpoenas, and Investigations

While there’s no impeachment order, there are serious legal moves involving Minnesota’s state leaders:

The U.S. Department of Justice has subpoenaed Governor Walz and other top Minnesota officials, investigating whether their opposition to the immigration crackdown amounts to obstruction of federal law.  These subpoenas form part of a broader federal investigation into state and local resistance to immigration enforcement, not a formal impeachment process. 

Walz’s Response

Governor Walz has strongly rejected federal pressure, urging calm and peaceful protest while criticizing the federal strategy as politically motivated. He has warned against escalating rhetoric and resisted calls for immediate confrontation. 

What Is Happening — and What Isn’t

What is happening:

A serious political standoff between the federal government and Minnesota officials over immigration enforcement tactics.  Threats by federal leaders to use drastic legal authority like the Insurrection Act if protests continue.  Legal actions such as subpoenas against state leaders, including Walz. 

What is not supported by credible reporting:

A formal order by Donald Trump to impeach Gov. Tim Walz for “inciting insurrection.”

At this time, there is no public record that such an impeachment directive has been issued or is underway in any official capacity by the federal government.

Why This Matters

The clash between federal and state authorities in Minnesota reflects wider debates in U.S. politics over immigration, policing, civil unrest, and the use of federal power. While rhetoric has been strong on all sides, claims must be grounded in verifiable facts — and there is no substantiated impeachment order against Gov. Walz at this time.
